DMG, as a fellow Canadian I'll give you some help. First google US news best colleges 2005 and go to the law school rankings. I'll assume you are calculating the GPA correctly (4.33 scale: A+=4.33, A=4.0...D-= 0.67). Your gpa is probably too low for yale, stanford, and Berkeley, though feel free to apply as a long shot. You have an outside shot at harvard, and I'd recommend you definitely apply there. Columbia, NYU, Chicago are the schools ranked 4-6, and you should get into atleast 1 of them. You should get into atleast 2 of the 7-9 schools (michigan, penn, virginia). If you are looking for money, you would probably get a good amount from schools ranked between 10-14 (northwestern, duke, georgetown, cornell). If you want a full-ride, you'd most likely have to go outside the top14 (which are considered the schools with a true 'national' reputation), to somehwere like Boston U, USC, or Notre Dame. In Canada you're in everywhere, except maybe Mcgill because they are weird.

I don't care what country you live in. You know US schools. Stop pretending like being north of the border somehow means that you haven't heard of US law schools-- and which ones are tops. You took the LSAT. To reigster for and study for the test you obviously looked at American books and materials. I am also quite confident that you know your percentile rank on the LSAT and have read many posts on LSD and LSN. If you are looking for people to tell you how fabulous you are and how much you really "belong" at Harvard and Yale, stay in Canada. US law schools don't need any more conservative narcissists. With that said, best of luck to you.

What the f*ck was the point of that post, you stupid b*tch?? yeah, I have HEARD of some US law schools, but HEARING about is quite different from knowing about. Especially since I am more interested in the mid-range schools that have nowhere near the name recogniton of a Harvard or Yale. I have no clue what set off your little hissy fit, but in the future keep your mouth shut, no one wants to hear that sh*t.
